This study evaluated the efficacy of polyphenolic compounds for hair growth in adults with non-scarring alopecia and found that these interventions significantly improved hair density and total area hair count compared to controls, although results were not significantly different from minoxidil.

This study found that incorporating 0.5% TPGS into topical minoxidil solutions enhanced hair growth in mice, although increasing TPGS to 2% decreased effectiveness.

This review discusses the potential use of spin traps in cosmetic products to limit reactive oxygen species generated by pollution, emphasizing the need for further research due to toxicity and regulatory concerns.

This review concluded that while topical prostaglandin analogues show some potential in treating androgenetic alopecia, evidence is still limited and no products have regulatory approval.

This study found that patients with acne vulgaris had significantly lower serum paraoxonase 1 (PON1) activity compared to healthy controls, suggesting that oxidative stress might play a role in the condition's development.

This study observed that both polynucleotides (PN HPT™) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) improved hair density and quality in men with androgenetic alopecia, with comparable outcomes and no significant adverse events.

This study found that genipin-based pigments, accelerated by riboflavin and blue-light photocatalysis, achieved commercial-level hair dye results with enhanced gloss and excellent color retention while reducing cuticle disruption, offering a potentially safer and faster alternative to traditional hair coloration methods.

The researchers reviewed cepharanthine, a long-used bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid, for its antiviral properties, including significant inhibition of SARS-CoV-2. They discussed cepharanthine's other pharmacological actions, highlighted plasma membrane fluidity as a key antiviral mechanism, and examined its safety, bioavailability, and potential for new clinical applications.

This review evaluates the role of the nuclear receptor PPAR- in skin diseases, highlighting its regulation of inflammation, lipid metabolism, and immune response, and suggests that PPAR-agonists could be promising therapies for conditions like psoriasis and atopic dermatitis.

This review examined recent biotechnological advances, including micropropagation and in vitro culture techniques, aimed at enhancing the production of beneficial metabolites in pomegranates, highlighting unexplored biosynthetic pathways and key enzymes involved in compound synthesis.

Finasteride doesn't affect antipyrine metabolism, so interactions with cytochrome P-450 enzyme drugs are unlikely.

This study found that the diphosphonate ethan-1-hydroxy-1,1-diphosphonat was the most effective compound in preventing calcifications in rats induced by DHT, compared to other phosphatase inhibitors and polyphosphates tested.

Finasteride effectively inhibits 5α reductase, while plant extracts like Permixon and Bazoton don't show significant results.

This study found that both a proprietary ultrahigh-pressure extract and a hexanic extract of saw palmetto showed comparable inhibition of 5α-reductase, suggesting similar potential for managing symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia.

In this study, the researchers described a formulation process for Ratanjot hair oil using Alkanna tinctoria roots, reporting traditional uses of the oil in preventing hair loss, baldness, premature greying, and promoting hair growth, but did not present empirical results.

This study suggests that finasteride may inhibit the enzyme phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase, which could contribute to its sexual and psychological side effects.

This review describes the pharmacological activities and chemical components of Trichosanthes dioica, but reports no new clinical results, emphasizing potential unproven therapeutic uses in traditional medicine.

In this experimental study using male rabbits, researchers found that a 7.5% concentration of green tea leaf ethanol extract hair tonic was nearly as effective in promoting hair growth as the positive control, minoxidil, over a 21-day period.

In this study, researchers using advanced chromatography and mass spectrometry techniques tentatively identified 132 chemical compounds in Justicia procumbens, including 54 lignans and 77 compounds reported for the first time, which may aid in pharmacological research and quality control of the plant.

This review discusses the traditional uses, phytochemistry, and pharmacological activities of Curcuma aeruginosa Roxb., highlighting its potential as a source for therapeutic applications and drug development, but it reports no new clinical results.

Dutasteride is more effective than finasteride for hair growth, and pregabalin effectively treats neuropathic pain.

In this randomized control trial, researchers reported that topical calcipotriol was more effective than topical tacrolimus in promoting hair growth for patients with alopecia areata over a 6-month period, with a statistically significant difference in efficacy.

This study found that both an anti-dandruff shampoo containing piroctone olamine and climbazole and its combination with a tonic reduced dandruff and inflammation, with the combination showing superior results.

This review focuses on the significant pharmacological properties and therapeutic potential of phytosterols, terpenoids, flavonoids, and phenolic compounds from the endangered plant Nardostachys Jatamansi, highlighting their diverse applications in disease prevention and treatment.

This study found that the ethyl acetate fraction of Hibiscus rosa sinensis petals significantly reduced serum glucose and glycated hemoglobin levels in diabetic rats, with effects comparable to metformin.

This study observed that a tacrolimus solution (0.1%) applied to the scalp was effective and well-tolerated for treating inflammatory scalp conditions, with 72.7% of patients showing an excellent response after 2 months of treatment, which persisted after 6 months.

This study found that adding pulsed prednisone to tofacitinib was linked to sustained hair regrowth in alopecia areata patients not responding to tofacitinib alone.

This laboratory study observed that Prunus Tomentosa Thumb Total Flavone significantly promoted hair growth and follicle maturation in a C57BL 6 mouse model of hair loss.
